The North African Campaign – Armored Warfare in the Burning Sands

Nations At War: Desert Heat 2nd Edition brings the fast-paced, platoon-level tactical combat of World War II’s North African Campaign to life. Set in the harsh deserts of North Africa, this standalone game in the Nations At War series puts players in command of the Italians, Germans, and Vichy French as they battle against the British, Commonwealth Allies (Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa), Americans, and Free French in some of the most famous battles of the war.

From lightning-fast armored assaults to desperate infantry engagements, players will maneuver tanks, mechanized forces, artillery, and air support across the unforgiving desert terrain. Nations At War: Desert Heat 2nd Edition offers engaging, scenario-driven gameplay, where tactical choices determine victory or defeat.
